Have you had your JOY JUICE today? I pray you’re drinking it faithfully!
This week I’ve
shared some “jewels of joy” regarding our walk with the Lord. While each of
them is imperative to living a genuine Christian life, the one we’ll discuss
today should be a priority!
Today’s
“jewel”: GOD HEARS AND ANSWERS OUR PRAYERS…in His time and His way…so never
give up! We see this prayerful diligence
demonstrated by Hannah in the book of 1 Samuel.
Hannah desired to have a child more than anything. But she had been unable to bear
children. HOWEVER, instead of giving up
hope, Hannah kept praying!
Here is a portion of her prayer from 1 Samuel 1:10 – 11:
In her deep
anguish Hannah prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly. And
she made a vow, saying, “Lord Almighty, if you will
only look on your servant’s misery and remember me, and not forget your servant
but give her a son, then I will give him to the Lord
for all the days of his life…”
Hannah
never gave up hope and continued to pray. In his perfect time, He gave her a
son, Samuel. This child grew up to be a
great man of God. What can we learn from
Hannah’s example?
- She was fervent in worship and prayer.
- She was faithful to God
- She was true to her word; she kept her vow.
- She was willing to follow through on even a costly commitment.
